Still Hopeful: Lessons From Lifetime of Activism’. With Maude Barlow

In this episode of Planet Haliburton we take a close look at hope - what it is, where it comes from and the central role it can play in challenging the devastating impact human extractive practices can have on a vulnerable biosphere that supports all life on the planet. And we do that with one of Canada’s most well-known and revered progressive author/activists, Maude Barlow. Maude has been on the front lines of many of the key civil society-based campaigns that have helped reshape the face of Canadian and international economic, social and environmental politics for more than 40 years. Barlow has played central roles in the Womens’, Anti-Globalization, Anti-privatization, Water Justice and Rights of Nature campaigns, to name but a few. Each of these movements have energized efforts to create more equitable human societies that understand, respect and live within natural ecological boundaries. Maude has written more 20 books including her latest entitled “Still Hopeful: Lessons From a Lifetime of Activism, on which this conversation is centred. This podcast is hosted by ZenCast.fm
